Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 36 Pension [Please vote~]

In addition to the three cooks, there were six maids who were also ordinary people. Fifteen people gathered in the front yard. Sima Yi simply divided the management and let them do their own things.

Among the servants, Jinhuo was the leader. Although he was the youngest, he was the strongest. The other five were very obedient.

The kitchen is headed by Uchiha Chinatsu, and the maid is headed by Uchiha Hanako.

After everyone dispersed, Sima Yi looked at the information about the two extra maids and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not send people to look for these two people, but they came to recommend themselves after hearing the news.

One of them is Uchiha Xuehua, and the other is Uchiha Meihua. They are twins, both fourteen-year-old girls, with pretty looks, and are quite well-behaved and good at housework.

It is certain that both of them are members of the Uchiha clan and are not ninjas, but
Sima Yi flipped through the roster. He was sure that he did not see the names of these two people on the roster in the morning.

"It is not recorded in the roster of the Guard Department. I don't know whether these two were sent by the Great Elder or the Clan Leader."

Sima Yi thought about it for a moment and then put it aside. At the moment, Zhishui was young, so there was no rush for this matter.

By the evening, everyone was anxiously waiting for Shisui to return.

Led by Uchiha Chinatsu, the three were waiting in the kitchen. They had already prepared a large table of food.

Although Sima Yi said at noon that the three people's cooking skills were acceptable, their main purpose of serving was Shishui after all, so it was still difficult for them to calm down.

Such a good job is too rare for them.

"Master Shisui!"

As I was feeling nervous, I heard a noise coming from the front yard.

Shisui was slightly stunned when he saw the two people jumping down from the courtyard gate, and then he realized that these should be the servants recruited by Sima Yi.

His expression was gentle and he nodded slightly as he greeted everyone.

After he left, the two of them were a little excited.

"Did you see that? Lord Shisui was just greeting us!"

"As expected of Master Shisui, you are such a gentle person!"

"We are lucky to be here. They will definitely envy us."

"Hush, keep your voice down and stand guard. If I displease Master Shisui, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

The corners of Shisui's mouth twitched slightly when he entered the yard. He heard the conversation between the two clearly. The exaggerated conversation made him want to leave quickly.

"Master Shisui, let us remove your armor."

Just after passing the front yard, Shisui saw two young girls in the corridor. They knelt on the wooden board to greet him. After saluting, they slowly stood up. They gently removed Shisui's armor and put on a warm kimono while he looked uncomfortable.

After changing into kimonos, the two followed behind Shisui until they were near the door, and then Meihua stopped at the door and slowly retreated.

Xuehua followed closely behind and sat obediently behind Zhisui so that she could serve him at any time.

Sima Yi noticed the behavior of the two people. They were obviously well-trained and not at the same level as the other four. This is why he chose Xuehua as the team leader even though he knew there were problems with the two of them.

"Grandpa, this."

Shisui felt a little uncomfortable. He thought he would just need some people to cook and clean the house, but he didn't expect there would be a personal maid.

"If you feel uncomfortable, I will kick them out tomorrow."

Sima Yi looked at Shisui, smiling, and suggested considerately.

"No, since they have been recruited, let's do this." Zhishui tried to stop him. He remembered Sima Yi saying that servants recruited to show favor within the clan were not from good families. He would feel even more guilty if they were kicked out because of a mistake he made.

"Well, let's eat first. After dinner, there are some matters that need your personal attention."

As soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, Meihua, who had just left, brought the rest of the people to bring the steaming dishes and distributed them to both sides.

Uchiha Chinatsu and the other two were also among them, they sat at the corner of the door and waited quietly. Outside the house, Jinhuo came over at some point and waited silently in the corridor.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable with so many people sitting around him while eating, Shisui paid more attention to the matters Sima Yi had just mentioned.

He moved quickly and the food on the table was soon cleared out, while Sima Yi, who was sitting opposite him, remained slow and elegant, savoring the food carefully.

"How does it taste? Are you satisfied?"

Seeing Shisui stop, Sima Yi also put down his chopsticks and asked.

To be honest, the taste is just average, nothing special, but Shisui doesn't care about that.

He nodded and said, "It's OK."

The three people near the door were visibly relieved after hearing Shisui's comment.

"Since Shisui is satisfied, you three can stay here without any worries."

The three of them turned around upon hearing that, knelt down and bowed again, "Thank you, Master Shisui."

It was not until then that Shisui vaguely guessed what the matter Sima Yi mentioned was.

Shisui puffed out his chest, nodded in a serious tone and said, "Well, you guys should go down and eat too."

Sima Yi shook his head slightly. Although Shisui's expression was serious, the words he said hardly established authority.

But he was used to it and didn't say anything.

The three of them withdrew, and the maids around them also left, leaving only snowflakes and plum blossoms.

Jinhuo in the corridor seized the opportunity, walked forward quietly, and saluted outside the door.

"Golden Fire?"

Shisui was a little surprised. As far as he knew, Jinhuo was Tiehuo's nephew and his family was not poor. Why was he here?

He looked at Sima Yi, but saw that Sima Yi's eyes were on his nose, and his nose was on his heart, as if he was pretending to be asleep and didn't seem to be awake.

"Are you used to it here?"

"Yes, it is my honor to be Master Shisui's attendant."

"That's great. I'll pick some time to teach you how to practice."

Jinhuo's face lit up with joy, and he immediately said, "Thank you, Master Shisui."

But he regretted it right after he said it, and quickly changed his words, "Master Shisui is very busy, how can I take up your time?"

Eh?
Shisui raised his eyebrows, suspicious, Sima Yi's lessons were not in vain as he immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Jinhuo, is there something you want to tell me?"

Jin Huo's heart tightened. He wanted to lay some groundwork, but he didn't expect to be discovered immediately. He felt even more uneasy.

"Yes, I can't hide it from Master Shisui after all."

Then Jinhuo told Yingshu everything, “Yingshu’s father and brother died on the front line of Kirigakure, but the village and the clan did not fully pay the compensation, so his training was very difficult.

But I can guarantee that Yingshu is definitely a qualified ninja. If Lord Shisui is willing to give him a chance, he will complete his duty even at the cost of his life!

Please, Master Shisui!"

Boom~
As soon as he finished speaking, terrifying chakra emanated from Shisui's body, and murderous intent so thick that it seemed tangible enveloped everyone.

The snowflake closest to it suddenly collapsed to the ground, feeling as if its heart was being tightly grasped, making it difficult to breathe.

"You mean, the village and the tribe's compensation has not been fully paid?"
